Hi everyone! I am Iván, a PhD former from Ghent University and University of Antwerp.
I am from Perú and I was doing pet sitting for almost 2 yrs. I shared this experience with my lovely and kind boyfriend Jurgen Guns (he also speaks Dutch). We were taking care of some pets and got experienced together. Since I will be abroad for a while, he will take care of our services in Antwerpen for a period of time.
He would like to spend some of his time by taking care of different pet animals. He lives in an apartment nearby the Antwerpen central station, which is very centric and easy to reach for any pet sitting coordination.
Me, Jurgen, I have lived in studios/apartments in Antwerpen, I had not the possibility to have cute pets and I really miss it. I believe they are the best company for some people, as for me. I always manage my time with my work, and have free time for friends and enjoy Antwerpen. So I think is not a problem to take care of your cute pets.
A small pet can be in my cosy apartment but it is small so I would have to take him/her to the park to play and then just come back home to eat and rest with me. In case of dogs, they should be chilled ones, not very active because then they will not be happy in my apartment, and is better for short periods because the limited space. The best is to help you tacking care of your pet at your place and taking him/her out for a walk. Or also check them to give food and company. I am open to do whatever is needed to make your pet happy.
I hope I can help you in anyway, and I am open for anything required to make your life easier and you pet happier when you cannot take care of him/her.
All the best and love from Iván & Jurgen
Iván has taken great care of my cat Raya during 10 days. Before confirming the booking he came to my house to meet Raya and myself. Then, during the time the cat was at his house he sent me pictures and updates of Raya everyday. Raya is quite a shy cat, so it takes her sometime to adapt to a new house, but he was very patient and kind. I would totally recommend Ivan and I would leave Raya at his care again for sure! Thank you Ivan!
